  "summary": "Brazil's National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) has ordered Discord to suspend its livestreaming feature, Go Live, due to concerns over child safety. The platform failed to protect children and teenagers from content promoting violence, self-harm, and suicide. ANPD granted the platform three business days to prove compliance with protective measures, facing potential fines of up to 50 million reais ($9.67 million) for each violation. Discord can appeal the decision within 10 business days, with a further appeal to ANPD's board possible.",
